摘要：

Using standard questions, the E interviewed 20 schizophrenics and 20 nonschizophrenics during psychiatric intake. Ss were asked about recent subjective changes in their perceptual and cognitive functioning. Responses were scored for presence or absence of specific perceptual and thinking disturbances, using verbatim typescripts and a standard raters' manual. Compared to nonschizophrenics, schizophrenics more often reported changes in the following: thought blocking which disrupts speech; mental fatigue; inability to focus attention; attribution of impaired concentration to factors other than preoccupation; visual illusions; misidentification of people; language not understood; more acute auditory perception; and impaired perception of speech. One-half of the schizophrenics reported an attentional deficit similar to that proposed by A. McGhie and J. Chapman as the primary disorder in schizophrenia.
